Good afternoon Clinton, I have just tried using xterm and emacs and I cannot get a paste to occur from the UI. I am running Centos 6 and using xfce. I will try this on my wife's windows 7 machine later today and see if I have the same problems there.
The application I have written is to be used on both windows and linux machines. regards Bruce Rennie On 03/11/15 12:04, Jeffery, Clint ([email protected]) wrote: > My initial reaction to this bug report was to reproduce/confirm it. > WAttrib("selection="|| ...) did not paste nicely into OpenOffice or into > Chrome on my Linux box.
